International Journal of Research on Service-Learning and Community Engagement
The IJRSLCE is a peer-reviewed online journal dedicated to disseminating high-quality research focused on service-learning, campus-community engagement, and the promotion of active and effective citizenship through education. IJRSLCE is international in scope, with an interest in service-learning and community engagement both in the United States and around the world. Further, IJRSLCE aims to be comprehensive in its approach, with an interest in articles on service-learning and community engagement in a variety of settings, including K-12 education, higher education (undergraduate and graduate), and community-based programs.
Published annually by the International Association for Research on Service-Learning and Community Engagement (IARSLCE), the Journal welcomes submissions from all researchers and scholars interested in the field.

Seeking Graduate Students for Assistant Section Editors
IJRSLCE seeks graduate student scholars to serve as Assistant Section Editors alongside current Section Editors. This role is designed to accomplish two interrelated goals: (1) strengthen IJRSLCE's editorial capacity and responsiveness, and (2) intentionally develop the next generation of scholars, reviewers, and editorial leaders in the service-learning and community engagement (SLCE) field.
Assistant Section Editors will be paired with a Section Editor in one of IJRSLCE's content areas and will participate meaningfully in the editorial process — from initial manuscript screening through final editorial decision-making. This is a mentored leadership role that provides graduate students with substantive behind-the-scenes experience in scholarly publishing while contributing to the intellectual growth of the field. For more information, read the full Call for Assistant Editors.
